That from Tourism Minister Trevor Holder at the announcement Dillon Consulting will receive about fifty-thousand dollars to explore Saint John as a homeport for cruise ships.
The announcement this morning at the Diamond Jubilee Cruise Terminal.
Holder tells CHSJ News the cruise industry is celebrating 25 years because people said 'why not' instead of 'why can't we'.
He says we have a great product here in Saint John and across the Fundy region so now we have to figure out how to take it to the next level.
Holder says he believes the Bay of Fundy product is so world class that getting on a boat in Saint John will be very appealing to the Boston/New York market.
The results of the study are expected in late summer or early fall.
